Is it really necessary to factory reset phone to download jellybean?

i read the post about what to do with the ICS update from GB. It was a pretty massive overhaul. I have read many times on this forum to factory reset your phone whenever you get a new update. I have not rooted the phone, so it's just regular ICS that came with it.

I may be redundant, and i apologize. I just need to know if it truly is necessary to do a factory reset for jellybean on the Maxx HD when there is not a huge difference in the upgraded software. I will do it if the consensus is "Yes, It is important because...." i finally have the phone set up the way i like and i don't really want to have to set up everything allover again (whine, whine,whine).

I want the most optimal upload of jellybean to my phone without any stragglers of ICS.....wait a minute, I think I just answered my own question.:blink:

While it may not be necessary to do a factory reset,I plan on doing just that when jellybean has been sent to my phone and installed. From my experience with updates to Android you get a clean update by doing so,thus avoiding any conflicts or errors. Just my 2 cents.

Well, that's what I thought. Just making sure. I have heard lots of talk about doing a factory reset for just that clean update. I guess my question should be "to get a clean update from ICS to Jellybean, I should factory reset my phone for the most optimal performance? Correct?"
